Nintendo rep: No plans to bring The Last Story to western territories
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
A Nintendo representative has commented on the status of The Last Story in western territories. VG247 was told that there are “no plans at present” to bring the game to North America and Europe. Although this isn’t the type of response fans would have hoped, it’d be best to take the news with a grain of salt. After all, I wouldn’t expect an announcement to come from a spokesperson. I’d say we should start panicking if nothing is said at this year’s E3.
